321 West 13th Street — The Gansevoort Condominium — is a pre-war loft building turned boutique condominium on the seam between the West Village and the Meatpacking District. Built in 1907 as a commercial loft and converted to residences in the late 1980s, it sits between Hudson Street and Eighth Avenue, a half block from Gansevoort Street and steps from the High Line, Hudson River Park, and the restaurant and gallery density of the far West Side.
For the buyer who wants authentic loft character — high ceilings, exposed brick, wood-burning fireplaces — inside a genuinely intimate building on one of downtown's most dynamic edges, The Gansevoort is a clean proposition. Deeded condominium ownership, converted-loft scale, and a boutique count of just three homes per floor.
Building operations
The condominium runs on a lean boutique model: an elevator, a common roof deck, and a superintendent (off-site / part-time) with video-intercom entry rather than a staffed doorman — cost-efficient and appropriate for a 21-unit building. Central air serves the residences, and heat and hot water are included in common charges. Many units carry wood-burning fireplaces, an increasingly rare amenity downtown.
As a condominium, ownership is by deed rather than shares. Purchases avoid the share-loan structure and interview process of a cooperative; financing is a matter between buyer and lender; and pied-à-terre, investment, and subletting uses are permitted under the bylaws. Pets are allowed. There is a transfer fee (flip tax); its amount and any specific sublet terms should be confirmed against the current bylaws at offer stage.
Recent sales
Condominium pricing is read on a per-square-foot basis, and 321 West 13th trades as a loft-conversion condo on the West Village / Meatpacking edge — high ceilings, exposed brick, wood-burning fireplaces, and the flexibility premium that deeded ownership commands. With only 21 residences, resale volume is thin: a handful of closings in an active year, skewing toward one- and two-bedroom loft layouts. Pricing is driven by floor, exposure, ceiling height, fireplace, and renovation condition rather than by any neighborhood average. When underwriting a purchase or a list price, capture the specific unit's square footage, light, and finish level rather than leaning on a Meatpacking headline number.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-00629-7501) and verified listing data. Apartment-level facts (line, condition, asking-price context) curated and cross-verified by The Roebling Team research desk. Not all transactions cross-verify with ACRIS records — sponsor and LLC purchases sometimes record at stipulated values rather than market price; square footage from recorded condo declarations and offering plans.
What to know if you’re buying
This is a condominium, so the path is straightforward: no board interview, financing set by your lender, and a review of the building's financials, reserve, and bylaws during due diligence. Read the bylaws on pet rules, the transfer fee, and sublet terms, and confirm them at offer stage. As a converted pre-war building, review the reserve and any capital-planning history on the building envelope and systems — a loft conversion carries its own diligence profile.
The reasons to buy are the character and the flexibility: an authentic 1907 loft building with high ceilings, exposed brick, and wood-burning fireplaces, deeded ownership with pied-à-terre and investment latitude, and a boutique scale on one of downtown's most dynamic edges.
What to know if you’re selling
The story is loft character on the Meatpacking edge. A 1907 conversion with twelve-foot ceilings, exposed brick, and a wood-burning fireplace, in a three-per-floor building steps from the High Line, is a specific, marketable proposition that sells to buyers who want authentic downtown loft space. Pricing is an apartment-specific exercise: square footage, floor, ceiling height, fireplace, and condition drive the number. We position the loft narrative, benchmark against the right tier of West Village and Meatpacking loft condominiums, and market to the downtown buyer who values character over new-construction polish.
